1. In the late great golden state, it’s getting hard to negotiate,
F C Am G
C
when you're
one slip from a grim fate in the late great golden state.

2. In the late great golden state, I don't do much but I'm always late,
C - F C
- Am G C
I ain't
old, just out of date in the late great golden state.
- Am G F
I caught one last
glimpse of a palomino,
Am G F
when I drove out west to see the purple sage.
Am F Am

Then as the canyons burned and the mountains crumbled,
Dm G
the last cowboy band left the stage.
C - F C - Am G C
I ain't
old, just out of date in the late great golden state.

3. Yeah, the late great golden state is a nice place for a clean slate,
C F C
but leave your expectations at
the gate
- Am G C
of the late great golden state,
- C F C
‘cause
they can pack you up and send you
home in a crate,
- Am G C
stamped the late great golden state.
